![]() ![]() ![]() There is some grey area there, such as some states considering the mere possession of lockpicks as criminal intent, but those subtleties you should talk to a lawyer about. To summarize that article, in most states lockpicks are legal unless you have criminal intent. In most states, bump keys fall under any “burglary tools” legislation, which we’ve covered. This means if a burglar comes into your customer’s home, they aren’t likely to be able to make a successful claim to their insurance provider. If done correctly, there is no visible indicators on the lock itself. The thing that makes lock bumping such a good solution when facing a client lock, is the same thing that makes it so dangerous when done by criminals. Or they use oddly shaped pins, which make bumping much more difficult. They either don’t use the pin and tumbler design of a traditional lock, which completely removes the potential for bumping pins. These so-called bump-proof locks use one of two main methods for their claim. This doesn’t always happen, and there are even some locks that are considered bump-proof. By bumping the key, and forcing this effect, while applying a slight twist to the key, the lock is forced open.
